Description :

Ornate Balinese Keris Hilt with Gemstone Embellishments

This striking and intricately adorned artifact appears to be a Balinese keris hilt, the handle of a traditional keris dagger from Bali, Indonesia. The keris is a revered weapon and spiritual object in Indonesian culture, often associated with power, protection, and mysticism.

Expertly crafted, this piece is embellished with colorful gemstones (type unknown) and features a stylized figure, possibly representing a mythological guardian, deity, or spirit from Balinese or Hindu tradition. The expressive facial features, detailed adornments, and vibrant decorations suggest it was intended for ceremonial or high-status use rather than functional combat.

The hilt is mounted on a custom black wooden stand, bringing its total height to 8 inches, making it a captivating display piece for collectors of Southeast Asian artifacts, antique weaponry, or cultural relics.

PLEASE NOTE: While this description is based on research, the exact origin, age, and materials of this piece remain unverified.
